Refund policy
For all teams
Club/Travel Fees are non-refundable since the loss of an athlete cannot be easily replaced. Once a contract is signed by the player/parent/guardian they are committing to the team and are responsible for full payment of the club dues stated in the contract. No monies will be refunded if a player chooses to leave XVA for any reason prior to the start of the season and/or during the season. Contracts are in effective from the date signed (not the start of practice/season).
However, should a player become injured and not be available to continue the season, XVA will not pursue the remainder of any amounts due. Still, any request for waiving of fees due to injury must be made in writing to: Xtreme Volleyball Academy.
Refunds will not be given to players who miss a practice (club, beach and/or academy) due to vacation, illness, school, etc.
Refunds will be given if XVA cancels the season due to unforeseen circumstances.
